•The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing.
•The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and retains liquid in its microscopic structure.
•The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.
The result is the creation of a wound environment, which allows healing to progress.

Non-adherent
ALLEVYN&#9674; dressings have a polyurethane wound contact layer which prevents adherence to a full range of wound types.

Helps create and maintain a moist wound environment
The outer, pink layer used on ALLEVYN&#9674; dressings is a breathable film layer. This allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound environment at the wound surface, which helps prevent eschar formation. The pink film is also waterproof and aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination.

Non-adhesive
ALLEVYN&#9674; dressings are non-adhesive and are therefore recommended for wounds surrounded by sensitive skin, such as venous ulcers. The lack of adhesive allows the use of the most suitable retention method, for example, tape onto intact skin, appropriate bandaging or a film dressing such as OPSITE&#9674;.

Easy to use
ALLEVYN&#9674; dressings are conformable and can be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations. As ALLEVYN&#9674; dressings absorb exudate, they may swell slightly, but do not leave debris in the wound. Dressing changes are therefore easier for the nurse and less traumatic for the patient; wound irrigation can be kept to a minimum. The progression of exudate through the dressing is visible through the pink top film.
